SACRAMENTO (AP) -- A firefighter was being investigated for alleged sexual assault after he and other firefighters attended an event called the ``Porn Star Costume Ball'' at a local hotel.

Several firefighters are also being investigated for alleged inappropriate behavior, city officials said Saturday.

A woman who attended the party reported to police early Saturday that she had been sexually assaulted. Officials would not say how many firefighters were involved or give any additional details.

``We don't know what (the firefighters) were doing there,'' said acting Sacramento Fire Chief Rod Chong. ``We're still really in the early stages of this investigation.''

But officials did say that several firefighters have been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.

Members of the department have faced trouble in recent years. A firefighter charged with selling steroids in October has been dismissed from the fire service.
